Chapter 13
Three months later, the court held a public trial for this case.
With the support of countless netizens and the pressure from public opinion, the charges against Tammi for accepting bribes and embezzling tax funds were confirmed.
She was sentenced to 153 years in prison and had all her assets confiscated.
The harm she caused me was considered severe. Since I refused to forgive her, the judge sentenced her to 205 years in prison.
In court, Geoffrey yelled at me, accusing me of misunderstanding him because of Tammi.
“Bitch! if it weren’t for you, my

wouldn’t have misunderstood me!”
“You filthy woman, you won’t have a good death. You deserve to be alone and die without anyone to bury you!”
Despite repeated warnings from the judge, Tammi somehow managed to produce a knife, charging towards me with a hateful expression. Her glare made me nervous.
But luckily, I was only thirty years old, and there were still many possibilities in life for me to discover.
Time passed slowly. As I went to work as usual, I noticed someone following me.
That person kept pace with me; when I sped up, they did the same.
Unsure if I was just being paranoid, I took a

turn down a small alley.
I got goosebumps, so I instinctively slowed down, and the person behind me also slowed their pace.
But the alley soon ended, and I had to stop. At that moment, the person suddenly rushed forward.
It was Tammi! Geoffrey rushed over and hugged me, but he was stabbed in the back.
“Geoffrey!” I panicked a bit.
I had originally planned to talk things over with him after the trial.
“Lina… I’m sorry…” Geoffrey said.
I urgently took him to the hospital. Before leaving, I picked up a microphone and

warned, “Tammi, you better stay in prison for the rest of your life!”
For contempt of court, and now the attempted murder charge, the police added more punishment. What was once a prison sentence turned into a death sentence.
I nodded in satisfaction, almost clapping in
court.
“You ruined my wonderful life, you bitch!”
After she said that, she tried to attack me, but the people behind her pulled her back.
I had already suspected she might cause trouble after being released from prison, so I had hired bodyguards.
Geoffrey also came and shielded me, holding me close.

“You still want to hurt Lina? Don’t you want to live?”
He grabbed Tammi by the hair and pressed her head into the ground: “If you want to die, then let me take care of you.”
“She ruined my life! I want her dead! I want her dead!”
Geoffrey took the steel pipe from the bodyguard’s hand and slammed it into Tammi’s face.
The immense pain made her scream, her teeth mixed with blood falling to the ground.
Even so, she kept yelling. The bodyguards held her down in water, only pulling her up when she could no longer breathe.

After several rounds, Tammi looked like a dying rat, her head hanging limp.
Geoffrey dragged her by the collar and threw her into a beggar’s den, ordering:
“Here’s a thousand bucks, and I’ve left this woman for you. Just don’t kill her.”
I coldly watched as the beggars fought over her, feeling no sympathy.
For someone like her, death wasn’t the most merciful thing. I wanted her to live a life worse than death.
I was sure that once she woke up and saw what had happened, she would choose to die herself, wouldn’t she?
Geoffrey turned around, wiped his hands clean, and gently took my hand to head

home.
I was only thirty years old, and there were still many possibilities for me to explore in life.
Five years after Tammi’s death, I stood on a long street abroad, watching street performers sing.
Geoffrey was still the refined and handsome man beside me. The little girl in his arms was soft and cute, pouting at me:
“Mom, I don’t understand what he’s singing. Can you translate it and sing it to me?”
“Baby, let Dad translate it. Mom’s been taking care of you and needs to rest for a while.”
The sunlight bathed their shoulders, and I

felt a little dazed.
Maybe this is what happiness is–simple.
A family of three, laughing and chatting, is enough.
The End.

The guests in the banquet hall mocked me openly.
Everyone bet that I would cling to Shayden. for the rest of my life, refusing to let go even in death.
